Windows 7: USB renaming Problem in Win7

The image above is from Windows XP. When we insert USB drive, XP shows the drive with itís name. We can rename it also. Itís very nice.

But in Win7, I always see ďRemovable DiskĒ like above. I tried it renaming. But same result. I use USB vaccine. So I canít use any autorun.inf file for label option in autorun.inf. What can I do to see my name in USB in Win7

Hi Kamrul
In case if the above advised by Panais is done. But, you still see it displayed as "removable disk". Then you may have to suspect you antivirus is preventing it from displaying its real name.
That is what I have here with Avira AV (don't know about the other AV). Such an annoyance to me. But hell, I still have no plan to move to other AV programs.

Sometimes renaming internal or external hard disk you risk to make the disk unusable and lose data.

For the specific case is better to copy\paste in safe place all the data from your usb drive.

Then right click on the usb drive,click format,choose quick format,in the Volume Label space write the name you like,click start to format the drive with the new name.

As you can see in my attachments my usb drive name was MULTIBOOT and i format\rename it to PANAIS.
Finish with this and post back with results.

I didn't apply your method ever, because my USB (16GB) always remains full with data. I keep all data in USB collected from my HDD. Your method is easy and nice. Are there any ways to rename USB without formatting.? If no ways I'll follow your method.
I use Microsoft Security Essentials.Thanks again.
